My Magellan portable GPS has become totally invaluable since I bought one six months ago. So why am I buying another one? Well, I have always been a bit suspicious of high-tech solutions to problems that didn't really seem to be problems at all. Ever since I started driving, some thirty years ago, I've used maps to navigate my way around the country. national route maps for major, cross country trips, and local street maps for once you get into the towns and suburbs.
But it was only when I went on a trip with a buddy who used his Magellan portable gps system all the way that I began to realize what I'd been missing. I thought back to all the instances where the gps was superior. This is my list:
You don't have to take your eyes off the road when you get all your instructions delivered in a mellifluous female voice.
You don't have to stop to consult a map when you're lost or think you've missed a turning.
If you do miss a turn, the gps simply recalculates and gives you new directions without getting angry
Your gps is always up to date. If the road network changes (make sure that the portable gps system that you buy comes with lifetime updates)
The gps takes you to the door of wherever you're going every time.
So why am I buying another one?
Well I love the one I've got but, now that I'm getting on in years, I want a bigger screen that I can see easily without squinting. Magellan have just brought out the Roadmate 5045-LM which has a five-inch screen. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm giving the other one to my daughter. It just feels safer to know that she can find her way around without trouble.
Check out this particularly good deal on the Magellan Portable GPS System and you'll never get lost again
